Is it any wonder
Is it any wonder I'm liking Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell so much? Take a look at this interview with the writer, Susanna Clarke. In the first 15 lines she endorses The Watchmen (good old Alan Moore), Neil Gaiman, and the statement "so many beers, so little time." How could I ever not love this book? She also sounds like she is much smarter than I am, or at least much more educated, so I suppose I'd be a bit intimidated if I met her. Which just goes to show it's a good thing I don't live in England, in Cambridge.

I love the authors she speaks of too...
She mentions AN INSTANCE OF THE FINGERPOST which I am currently reading. The book has sat on my shelf for 11 years..I could not get into it...but somehow I knew that if I could just keep going it would get good. I dedicated myself this summer to complete the 700 pg book. I am now on page 150 and it is getting readable.
I guess I will have to tackle THE WATCHMEN....
